Course Description

The Philippine government has long adhered to the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR). Consistent with the countrys commitment to honor international treaties, covenants and agreements, the Philippines has continued to promulgate laws, regulations and administrative procedures on IPR related matters aimed at ensuring respect for IPR. With the promulgation of the Intellectual Property Code (Republic Act No. 8293), the Philippines complied with its international undertakings and provided better protection for IPR. This is a survey course covering the main areas of intellectual property law - patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. It introduces each subject and explores commonalities and differences among different systems of intellectual property protection. It also gives an understanding of the philosophy and application of IP Law. II. Course objectives The course seeks to impart to the student skills, knowledge, attitudes and values in IP Law. These include: 1. Skills in the application of IP theory in order to be a competent lawyer, advocate, strategist and administrator. 2. IP knowledge to appreciate conceptual and practical applications, government policy and business transactions. 3. Attitudes to apply IP as a key to economic development in the Philippines. 4. Values on how to apply IP skills and knowledge positively to Philippine development. III.
